The Ibadan Zonal Office of the Economic and Financial Crimes commission has invited and quizzed the former Chairman of Ifedore Local Government Area of Ondo State, Hon. Akinsola Adu, and three of his principal officers over an alleged case of stealing and abuse of office.
The suspected Principal Officers are Taiwo Aladesuyi, Adefisoye Tua Agboola and Dare Alao F.
The former Chairman and his Principal Officers were alleged to have misappropriated N60 million, which was released to the Local Government by the Ondo State Government from the Re-investment and Empowerment Programme (SURE-P) through the Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs.
It was alleged that virtually the entire sum was transferred to a personal account.
However, investigation is still ongoing to establish how the funds were actually disbursed and verify the projects for which it was purportedly released.
The suspects will be arraigned in court if on the conclusion of investigation a prima-facie case is established against them.
